Ingredients
Yield: 8 large scones Time: 45 minutes
Banana Date Scones
- 8 oz. dates, finely chopped
- 1 Tbs flour
- 3-4 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 Tbs ground flaxseed
- 1/3 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
Directions
- First, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare two lightly oiled baking sheets. Then, in a medium bowl, mix the chopped dates with 1 Tbs flour, toss together until combined, and set aside.
- Whisk or sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk the flaxseed and non-dairy milk. Then, whisk in the mashed bananas, canola oil, and sugar. Combine well.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until the dough is formed; it should be thick but sticky. Fold in the dates.
- Using an ice cream scoop or 1/2 measuring cup that is lightly oiled, scoop a generous amount of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving about 3 inches apart between each scone. You should have four large scones per baking sheet.
- Bake for 32-34 minutes until lightly golden and firm. Once baked, transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store at room temperature for 4-5 days.
